Elevators and Identification Codes: The Secret Behind Safety and Efficiency

The elevator identification code system is not only a significant advancement in managing and operating them, but also an important step in ensuring safety for everyone. It not only helps improve the safety level of elevators but also reduces the pressure of supervision and management on the authorities. In particular, when the number of elevators and escalators is constantly increasing, this system will help optimize the management process effectively and save time. In today's sharing article, Hoang Sa Viet Sankyo Elevator will tell you the real reason: "Why is it necessary to attach identification codes to elevators?"

WHAT IS ELEVATOR IDENTIFICATION CODING SYSTEM?

The elevator identification code system is a breakthrough technology in the management and operation of elevator equipment. Similar to the way each person has a unique identification code called the citizen identification code, so does the elevator. This system also attaches a unique identification code to each elevator. Each elevator will be assigned an identification code to help manage and track them accurately and effectively.

The Elevator Identification Code System , a project of the Vietnam Elevator Association , is a comprehensive management and monitoring tool for elevators and escalators. Designed with ID codes and QR codes (Quick response codes), this system provides the ability to manage every aspect of elevators from the time they are manufactured, installed, maintained, repaired, to the dismantling or replacement stage . With the integration of this technology, monitoring and adjusting elevator operations becomes more flexible and efficient than ever.

Specifically, each elevator or escalator will be assigned a unique identification code, represented in the form of an ID number and QR code. The labels containing this identification code will be attached directly to easily observable locations such as the front door of each floor, inside the cabin and other locations as prescribed. This makes identifying and tracking information about the elevator easier and more convenient, while enhancing transparency and safety during use.

HOW TO LOOK UP ELEVATOR IDENTIFICATION CODE

People can easily access and look up detailed information about elevators through the following two convenient ways:

Step 1: Access the Vietnam Elevator Association Portal and enter the corresponding ID code.

Step 2: Use your smartphone to directly scan the elevator's QR code.

After performing the above steps, the system will provide the user with the following important information:

- General information: Includes installation address, manufacturer, and installation time.

- Technical parameters: Such as load capacity, number of floors, and speed of the elevator.

- Inspection data: Includes inspection time and inspection validity status.

- Maintenance data: Maintenance time, performing unit, and maintenance results.

- Repair history: Includes time, performing unit, and content of previous repair work.

- Incident history: Includes time of incident, cause and corrective measures.

By providing all this necessary information, users can comprehensively access and evaluate the status and safety of the elevator they are interested in.

With the aim of focusing on the user and making them the center and main supervisor, the system not only provides information about the elevator but also encourages users to actively participate in the monitoring and feedback process. In addition to the official information from the management system, users are encouraged to report issues related to the elevator status , including:

• Elevator problem

• Ladders that have not been inspected or have expired inspection

• Doubts about the origin of elevator components and equipment

By encouraging this active participation, users not only become an important part of the process of maintaining and improving elevator safety, but also help increase transparency and accountability in elevator management and operation.

WHY SHOULD THE ELEVATOR BE IDENTIFIED?

When reading this far, you have certainly realized the importance of assigning identification codes to elevators and to explore this issue further, please continue reading the information below with SANKYO Elevator:

Although not on the list of common accidents like fire or traffic accidents, elevators can still encounter problems at any location, from individual houses, apartment buildings to office buildings and shopping centers. These problems, although not highly appreciated, carry serious consequences for human life and health.

According to information received by Sankyo Elevator, recently a heartbreaking incident was reported by Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper about Ms. Le Thi Diem Quynh, 31 years old, living in Chu Kbo commune, Krong Buk district, Dak Lak. Ms. Quynh had to go through unimaginable pain when her legs were paralyzed and she was forced to give up her 6-week-old fetus just because of an elevator fall while shopping at a local store.

And in recent times, Ms. Quynh's incident is just one of a series of recorded elevator accidents. These unfortunate accidents can originate from many different causes, from technical errors of the elevator door, broken safety brake system, to electrical or mechanical problems. More notably, some accidents occur due to the use of homemade elevators, substandard or non-compliant elevators, which still operate uncontrollably every day.

The fundamental problem remains the lack of regular and proper maintenance, repair and inspection of elevators. However, to better understand the root cause of this problem, we need to realize that this is the result of the lack of a comprehensive and professional elevator management and monitoring system.

Faced with elevator incidents, we often only focus on immediate response and forget about prevention. However, in the world, many regions and countries such as Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong,... have succeeded in building a national elevator management system using digital technology.

With the goal of building a comprehensive elevator information system that benefits consumers, businesses and the state, the Vietnam Elevator Association has implemented the Elevator Identification Code System project. This project not only helps provide transparent information on elevator safety status to users but also improves the efficiency of management, repair, and rescue of businesses as well as state management agencies.

BENEFITS OF ELEVATOR IDENTIFICATION CODE SYSTEM

Based on the success and practical implementation experience in many countries around the world, the elevator identification code system applying digital technology proposed by the Vietnam Elevator Association promises to be a comprehensive and effective solution. It is not only an improvement, but also a big step forward in improving safety, strengthening management and improving service quality in the elevator industry.

With this system, we can expect valuable benefits that it brings to three main subjects: users, businesses and management agencies. Specifically:

For users , the elevator identification code system brings valuable benefits as follows:

• Check information: Users can easily look up information about the inspection status, licensing and assessment of maintenance and repair work of the elevator. This helps them decide whether to use the elevator safely and confidently.
• Incident reporting: Users have the ability to immediately report dangerous situations such as elevator malfunctions, expired inspections, etc. to the management system. This helps to resolve incidents quickly and effectively.
• Fast rescue: Thanks to the elevator identification code notification, users can be rescued faster. The rescue team can easily locate the building and the broken elevator, helping them to quickly approach and assist users effectively.

For businesses in the elevator industry , the elevator identification code system brings valuable benefits as follows:

• Improve service quality: Thanks to feedback from users, businesses can quickly absorb opinions and improve the quality and safety of the elevators they manage. This helps increase customer confidence and improve the business's reputation in the market.
• Optimize management process: The system helps to simplify the elevator status management process and increase the work efficiency of technicians. Thereby, businesses can optimize employee work schedules, allocate resources more effectively, thereby minimizing unnecessary operating costs.
• Optimize maintenance and repair: Elevator ID provides detailed information on the elevator's maintenance, repair and replacement history. This helps improve the efficiency of remote fault prediction, diagnosis and inspection, minimizing machine downtime due to problems, thereby enhancing customer experience and minimizing inconvenience.

For state management agencies, the identification code system will have the following significant impacts:

• Increased management efficiency: Management agencies are able to inspect and monitor existing elevator systems more effectively. In particular, they can monitor the status of expired elevators, illegal operations, and warn about the number of old elevators and safety risks. This helps management agencies take timely and effective measures to prevent and resolve problems.
• Incident analysis and handling: In case of an elevator incident or accident, the system will help analyze data on repairs, replacements, and incident history. Thanks to that, the authorities can quickly find the cause, determine the responsibilities of the parties involved, and come up with appropriate solutions.

In short, a country that is a “powerful” elevator country is not a country that uses many elevators. Therefore, the Elevator Identification Code system built by the Vietnam Elevator Association is not only a tool for collecting and analyzing information, but also an important step towards the noble goal: preventing future elevator incidents and accidents, thereby increasing and ensuring safety for the entire community.
